⚠️ Important: The below are the only Statutory Sick Pay (SSP) settings that can be configured within the Education People system.
Details on how sickness will be paid can only be set up within the Payroll system. If you have any further queries please reach out to your Payroll Agent who will be able to look into it and advise.
You will not be able to see when an employee's Statutory Sick Pay begins or ends in Access Education People as this will show as regular sickness on their Absence page.
Please contact your Payroll Agent for details on an employee's SSP start and end dates.
